"Why I'm Me Is Cause Of You"
Chapter.o16 – "Declared Love"
Disclaimer: Damn the great CCS characters aren't mine. But you know what, this story is! Yeah! You can't take this story away from me! He'heh. I even have my own lawyer! Points to a dog dressed in a very badly torn suit HAHA! Nothing can stop me now, MUAHAHA!
A/N: Hey there! Well I got quite a few comments about how I ended up making Tomoyo and Eriol get together the way I did, and the answer's simple: I have no clue! It just spilled out, haha! But I'm glad to hear you guys liked it! I was actually aiming for romantic, but it ended up hot and sexy again, oh well. Anyways, sorry I didn't get to talk about Syaoran and Sakura though, but I didn't get any complaints about that, haha I wonder why. So yeah, updating again, enjoy!
When Tomoyo woke up she was surprised to see Eriol missing from the bed, she quickly got out of bed and headed towards the restroom and cleaned herself up.
Eriol was downstairs looking at the equipment Yuu-Hi had gone to get the previous night.
"I think our old ones are good enough, we're just wasting our money." Kouga complained.
The gang started working on a budget for the past week, since no one had a secure income expect for Syaoran.
"But we need new ones if we're going to start working on jobs again." Eriol smirked towards Syaoran, "We can't always look for Syaoran's help."
Syaoran had spent all night in his room watching over Sakura, who was still asleep upstairs.
"How's Sakura?" Kouga asked, changing the subject away from jobs, he wasn't the working type.
Syaoran looked drowsily toward him and squinted his eyes, trying to focus in on his face, "Fine."
"Shit, you been drinking or something?" Yuu-Hi asked as he walked in and grabbed a beer from the fridge.
Syaoran shook his head, "No, was up all night trying to clean Sakura. Damn blood was fucken everywhere."
Eriol nodded his head in approval.
"Hey, I think I heard some moaning last night." Yuu-Hi winked at Eriol, "Am I right?"
Just then Tomoyo had just come out of the shower and was walking into the room, with only a towel wrapped loosely around her body. She headed toward Eriol and kissed him playfully on the lips, "Morning."
Eriol reddened as Tomoyo bent down to grab a beer and went back upstairs.
"Haha, I knew it!" Yuu-Hi laughed.
"Nice." Syaoran remarked and grabbed a beer and also disappeared upstairs.
Syaoran closed the door behind him and walked towards his desk, where his cell phone laid. There had been two missed calls, he checked them and they were both from the clinic. He shook his head and placed the phone back to its place. He was determined to have a little break from work for a while.
He looked out the window; the wind was blowing extremely hard. So hard that he could actually see the waves and lines of the wind pressing against the glass. He didn't like bad weather, hated them actually. So he walked over and pulled the curtains, leaving the room dark.
Just then he heard a small gasp, he spun around and saw her, awake.
"S-Syaoran?"
Her eyes were wide open, vibrating with fear, "Syaoran!"
He rushed to the side of the bed and wrapped her in his arms, "I'm here."
He pressed his hand against her back and smoothed out her wrinkled top. He had asked one of Hiko's girlfriends to come and change Sakura's clothes after he had finished cleansing her body with warm water. He had pulled out a wrinkled top from her duffle bag and boy shorts.
"Where," Sakura looked around her.
"The hideout, my room." Syaoran said in his deep and calm voice.
"Syaoran, I was so scared." She whimpered and then continued, "Not when I killed her but afterwards, when I saw the blood on myself. How you all looked at me like a serial killer! I was so scared you'd all leave me without hearing my reasons! I thought you'd leave me! I was so scared! I couldn't even-"
Syaoran pressed his lips upon hers and felt hot streams of tears rushing down her cheek.
"You're okay now." He stroked her hair away from her eyes revealing sparkling wet emerald diamonds, "We'd never leave you, especially me."
She lifted her limp fingers and traced a trail around his lips, almost the shape of a heart, thin and soft. She kissed him softly and took his hand into hers and pressed his hand against her cheek. The exact spot where he had touched her the day they met. And she couldn't stop crying, couldn't stop even if she tried.
He wiped some of her cheeks with his hand and said, "I love you."
She shook the words "thank you" from her mouth, but in a bare whisper.
And when he pulled through strains of honey brown hair with his hand and kissed her forehead, all her troubles washed away. Everything from the past disappeared; the only thing that was left was the thought of how wonderful her future was going to be. How she'll share it with Syaoran.
"Are you ready?" Tomoyo asked coming into the room in a glimmering yellow dress, it was a tube top kind of dress that ended at the middle of her thighs.
Sakura wore a pink halter top with diamonds and a demin miniskirt, "Almost." She managed to blurt out as she traced the outline of her lips with a lip liner pencil.
"I can't wait for our double date!" Tomoyo squealed, "You know it's both of our first month anniversaries today?"
Sakura nodded, it was true. A month has past since Tomoyo and Eriol made love, since the morning Syaoran had kissed her for the first time and the day he had told her he loved her.
Since then, Sakura and Syaoran were almost inseparable except for the days Syaoran had to be at work at the clinic. And so were Tomoyo and Eriol, they never left one another's side. But to Sakura, she and Syaoran were slower than Tomoyo and Eriol. They had slept together on the first day, while she and Syaoran haven't even slept in the same bed yet. But more importantly, she hasn't even told him she loved him too. She was determined that tonight was the night she'd tell him.
Sakura finished the final touch on her eyes and put on her earrings, "Done!"
Tomoyo smiled, "Finally!" Then she hooked her arm with Sakura's, "Let's get going!"
They headed downstairs where everyone was waiting for them, they all clapped as they finally came into sight.
"Finally!" Hiko exclaimed.
Tomoyo grinned sheepishly and apologized, "Sorry, hair crisis."
"Uh huh, and what's your excuse?" Yuu-Hi asked sarcastically.
Sakura stuck out her tongue playfully, "Clothes crisis."
Syaoran and Eriol stood side-by-side talking to each other, probably making plans for the night.
Syaoran wore a tight white shirt that showed off his tight chest and his muscular arms and sagged his baggy blue jeans, held loosely against his thigh by a silver belt. The outfit revealed his red boxers just a little above the belt. Sakura looking at him couldn't believe he was a doctor. But even in his white doctor coat and loose polo's he wore to meetings he still looked hot, but tonight he was off the edge. His hair spiked up to perfection and his left earring shined as he headed toward her.
He smiled, "You look great."
"Thanks, so do you." She curved his arm with hers and held his hand.
Tomoyo grinned, "Is that my Eriol?" She winked playfully.
Eriol wore a loose red shirt in the inside of an even looser open black shirt with a collar, and wore black jeans that ripped at the end. He hadn't used gel, which he didn't do very often, leaving his bangs covering one eye, "You look beautiful."
"Thanks sweetie."
"Wow, you guys look awesome!" Yuu-Hi complimented.
"Haha, Yuu-Hi gets brownie points!" Sakura joked.
"Have fun tonight you love birds!" Naozumi said and walked up to Syaoran and whispered in his ear, "And good luck tonight, foo."
Sakura heard and turned red, 'What was going to happen tonight that he'd need luck?'
"Well," Eriol smiled, "We better get going."
Kouga walked out from the kitchen and went straight upstairs, without a single glance at them.
Hiko called after him, "Hey! Don't ya wanna say something to them before they leave?"
But there no response and Hiko spun around toward them again; "Sorry about that he's been moody all day today."
"S'okay." Syaoran said and turned toward the door, "Let's get going."
They got into the car and drove off, Syaoran and Sakura in the back and Tomoyo and Eriol in the front seats. Eriol gave Syaoran a grin through the rear-view mirror and Syaoran smiled and dug in his pocket.
"Here," He handed Sakura a piece of rosy pink cloth, "It's a blindfold, put it on."
And then he handed Tomoyo one, "You too."
The girls exchanged glances before Sakura asked, "Why?"
"Come on just do." Syaoran assured her.
Sakura stood still for a few seconds then shrugged and put on the blindfold and so did Tomoyo.
"This surprise of yours better be good." Tomoyo laughed.
"Oh, it's good alright." Eriol assured her, "Good as McDonalds."
Syaoran and Sakura laughed as Tomoyo searched with her hand for Eriol's arm and pinched a piece of skin.
Syaoran slid his hand into Sakura's, which made her smile, tonight's the night she'll tell him that she loves him, how she'll never find anyone better. How she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. She smiled and with her eyes beneath the blindfold she struggled to find his face and kiss the upper part of his lips clumsily, which made him laugh.
"Shut up, you try finding shit with this thing on your eyes." She laughed.
They all laughed in the car, but what they didn't know was that there was a car following them.
"Make sure you follow them and keep them in sight but also keep your distance."
"Of course."
The person in the darkness of the car laughed, "We'll get you soon, S—"
A/N: Hi again! Haha, I stopped it at "S" haha! I don't want you guys to know until later on! But I felt bad if I didn't put a name so I just used "S" to make you guys wonder Sakura or Syaoran, hehe. I thought this was a rather cute chapter, one of the cutest so far. I had a request for a Tomoyo and Eriol and Sakura and Syaoran double date so yeah! There you go, xAnimexGirlx! It actually worked well for the story, thanks! Anyways, I had a lot of people write about how they wanted me to write more about the other gang members like, Hiko, Naozumi, Yuu-Hi and Kouga, and I will, eventually! And I was so surprised when people wrote in about their favorite characters in the story! The most popular was Hiko! Haha, which I thought was quite a shocker. So, I got this idea about having one of those popularity contest thingys for the story characters! Send in your favorite and see who wins first and who goes in last! And, I think that's it so far. Well keep reviewing okay? Byex3
